Today I have officially
launched my very own “Make Use Of” series of techie articles.
These are going to be short articles about the cool stuff that I find
handy in our techie world. I hope you get the same satisfaction!

A few days ago my portable
drive got “fried”! And it was a bad day because literally all my
stuff was on that device which is now as good as “Junk”. The
latest backup was of three months back, so I practically lost the new
data that I had gathered in 3 months.

I had a company laptop in
my previous employment and I had never bothered to buy one of my own,
all I did was make a monthly back of my important stuff to that
portable drive. But a time came when I had to exit! So here I was
with my portable disk hoping to buy a laptop soon! And considering
that I was also exiting the country, I said to myself that “I will
buy the laptop when I have settled in my new life” but the portable
drive was not thinking about the same thing!

I knew about free online
storages services before but I had never taken it seriously, I guess
I was being lazy! Consider this a wakeup call for you too and you
should have started yesterday to backup your important stuff online! This is actually what
cloud computing is about! Not only will you be able to backup
your files, but you will also be able to edit them and save your
work.

So far I have landed on
two good ones, and by good I mean all factors considered; Easy to
use, Security, Amount of free space and much more:
